There is something about cutting your own Christmas tree: the smell of the pines, the hunt for the one that’s just right, the saw, the haul back to the car. These nine Christmas tree farms around Indianapolis range from full-service farms that drill, shake and net the tree for you to quiet fields where you cut it yourself. One, Watts, sells only pre-cut trees. Most open the weekend before Thanksgiving or the day after (Thanksgiving is Nov. 26, 2026), and Dull’s and Sambol’s require reservations on Thanksgiving weekend, so check each farm’s rules before you drive.
For the rest of the season, see our guide to holiday fun in Indianapolis.

Tips for Cutting Your Own Tree
- Measure first. Know your ceiling height and the width of the spot; trees look smaller outdoors.
- Dress for mud. Fields can be muddy; boots and gloves help.
- Bring a tarp and rope if the farm doesn’t net and tie trees.
- Check payment. Some farms prefer cash or check, and Lost Forty adds a 3% fee for cards.
- Go early for tall trees. The biggest trees tend to sell first.
